CNN Dem Debate "The Gilroy Shooter was a white supremacist. Sen Warren how will you handle White Supremacist" Me looking up the shooter (clown world)

what I read about the official census in the US, middle eastern people are considered white:

The census also typically counts Hispanics as white. The census only establishes what continent someone is from, not what their actual skin pigmentation is.

I'm not saying that's what the average person thinks, but I'm surprised of the reply that says it's the first time they heard Iranians are considered white, as it seems to be both official and common.

Historically you are correct. There are white Persians, some even have blonde hair. Once upon a time most Persians more closely resembled Jews or Greeks but many centuries of Islamic Arab conquest and migration have really changed the average population.
